After hearing of Mr Husband's and my misadventures at sea, Finn McSpool announced that all further Maui activities would be land-based (even though he doesn't put a dime into the travel budget, Finn feels it's entirely within his rights to dictate the itinerary). So, in this final installment of our Maui Adventure, we'll stay out … Continue reading A Monster Mash-Up in Maui
Stranded at Sea: A Harrowing Journey to Molokini
Herman Melville. Ernest Hemingway. Daniel Defoe. Tammie Painter. What do we all have in common? Until recently, only a desire to put pen to paper. But now I can join the ranks of these esteemed authors with my own tale of man versus nature, the dangers of the ocean, and being stranded at sea.

A Monstrous Look at Lahaina
It's time for another look into the adventurous life of Finn McSpool. Even though he had fun playing the underwater Hawaiian explorer, sometimes a Beastie needs to spend some time on dry land.

Hawaii Finn-0
Mr.Husband, Finn McSpool, and I are still hanging out on Maui, but the little monster just wanted to check in with the Blogosphere to share a few pictures (since as we know he can be quite the diva when a photo op comes his way).

Saturday Selections: Wings of Aloha (animal rescue)
Besides the important questions I asked myself when preparing for my recent trip to Maui such as, "How many bathing suits will I need?" and "How many gallons of sunscreen should I take?"

Travel Pic Thursday: Kapalua Bay (Maui, Hawaii)
Last week, my husband and I returned from our annual vacation. When it comes to planning, we alternate years of who gets to create the destination and itinerary.
